I just finished viewing this essay, which I received from a friend.
Thanks for posting this . . . I was looking for somewhere on FR to make this available.
It was my pleasure. I'm actually surprised it isn't already posted (or the double-post police haven't bitten me yet).
It is such a great pictorial timeline. As one of the other posters noted, it is disturbing that nobody seemed to be concerned about leaving when the water was knee deep. But man, they sure were interested in taking stuff that wasn't theirs.
